Motivational Interviewing vs. Narrative Coaching

Core Distinction

Motivational Interviewing (MI) helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen intrinsic motivation toward behavior change. Narrative Coaching (NC) helps people expand awareness and re-author the story that gives rise to their identity, beliefs, and behaviors.

In short:

MI works at the level of motivation and choice
NC works at the level of meaning and identity.

Intention: Behavior Change vs. Story Transformation
